Installing Arbor and Chuck
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Thoroughly clean the entire arbor and the
inside of the chuck (Figure 9) with a soft rag
and solvent such as mineral spirits. Any
grease or residue in these areas can cause
the pieces to separate and create a safety
hazard as well as damage to the tool.
3. Slide arbor up into the spindle.
4. Firmly push the chuck by hand onto the
taper of the arbor.
5. Make sure the jaws of the chuck are opened
all the way until they are inside the chuck
body. Use a single tap from a rubber mallet,
or a hammer and a block of wood, against
the bottom of the chuck to seat the chuck
securely onto the arbor.
Do not use a steel hammer
directly against the chuck, as this may
damage the chuck.
Chuck and Arbor Removal
1. Disconnect machine from power source.
2. Lower the quill assembly with the downfeed
handles to expose the slot (Figure 10).
3. Insert the drift key into the slot.
4. Tap the drift key into the slot until the chuck
and arbor fall out. NOTE: Hold onto the
chuck to prevent it being damaged as it
falls.
Grounding Instructions
Electrical connections must
be made by a qualified electrician in
compliance with all relevant codes. This
machine must be properly grounded to help
prevent electrical shock and possible fatal
injury.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This machine is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided
– if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
